No, LSU baseball's prized marsupial didn't find his way to Fayetteville, but its mojo (and hashtag) certainly did. The Tigers rallied from a 7-run deficit against the Arkansas Razorbacks — including 5 runs in the 9th inning — to ignite a Twitter firestorm.

They even squirmed out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the 9th to secure the 10-8 win on Saturday night.

If the storyline sounds familiar, that's because it is. Just over a year ago, also against Arkansas, the legend of the Rally Possum was born (watch a clip from the game here). In that game, a small opossum found its way onto the field, interrupting play for several minutes as players and Alex Box Stadium workers attempted to corral it.

LSU trailed 9-4 at the time, but after the interruption made a furious rally. They scored four runs in the 9th inning to tie the score 9-9, then went on to win 10-9 in the 10th inning. A heady LSU employee — Director of Fan Experience Jason Suitt — quickly thought of flashing the words "Rally Possum" on the stadium scoreboard, giving birth to the phrase, a myriad of hats and shirts, and a rallying cry whenever the Tigers seem lost on the diamond.

Whether players felt the Rally Possum's inspiration or the Razorbacks simply have a hard time closing out LSU is unknown. But for Tigers fans, a win is a win ... #RallyPossum.
